Not sure if this is the appropiate Forum and so I apologize in the first instance, but I thought I would draw your attention to some of Grzegorz Kulig's new work, in particular his new V12 shields which he has made for himself. (Sorry Greg but I know you are too busy to be posting but I thought this should be shared and viewed by a wider appreciative audience) .

Whoa, each new of his creations is more awe-inspiring than the last! I am working on V8 shields myself and seeing the fantastic details on that one is driving me green with envy I guess . In truth, I guess that Gregorz has once again set the plank of "accurate replica of Vendel period item" highier yet again. Fantastic work!

Greg is also working on two further period shields, a Valsgarde 8 shield one for a friend and a Valsgarde 7 shield two
for myself..can't wait to see the results.

(There are also other Vendel/Valsgarde helms ongoing and a Benty Grange on commision.)

Good look with your project ...oh by the way if you wanta bronze V7 scabbard slider as a gift, let me know. Just given the master that I made to a trader friend (Russ Scott) and he'll do me two copies..so I have a spare.

Well I hope to have some results on my project in a month or so - getting the german version of the V8 book translated (well parts of it relating to the shields and helmet) for me by a friend and dooing some other prelimenary research for it and acquiring the necessary materials - want to get as precise replica done as possible, I learned quite a bit about making and using it from my linen covered "testbed version". And. yes I would love to have the slider - V7 grave is another of the things I want to recreate, eventually.

Incredible!! Absolutely beautiful! It's times like this that I find words totally inadequate to describe my thoughts."No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation" ...Gen. Douglas Macarthur
